Tour in District 1 and 3 in Franklin County with stops in Basin City, Eltopia and Mesa, three rural communities rooted in agriculture, grit, and deep local pride. Big skies, big hearts, and stories that don’t always make the headlines but matter every day. #RuralWA

The WA Firearms Portal is supposed to make things easier. Instead, it's locking people out across the state. • Error messages • Weeks of waiting • Manual processing behind a fake digital front I looked into the source code — it’s not even automated. Just another layer of red tape dressed up as “progress.” People are trying to follow the law, and the system is making it impossible. Is it going to work this year? Or is this just another case of the government failing the bush? #WAFirearms #FirearmsPortal #DigitalFail #RuralWA #WAPolitics #FirearmLicensing #AccountabilityMatters #SystemBroken #FixItNow

1/2: Like many #ruralWA areas in #WAstate, @GraysHarborCo struggles w/ #digitaldivide. We need universal #broadband access. Our Statewide Broadband Office is working to make it happen. Learn more in an op-ed by @WAComDirector Lisa Brown in @ghdailyworld. thedailyworld.com/opinion/br…

5/15: Transport also has biggest equity and access concerns. Transit improves equity and reduces emissions. EVs avoid gas pump costs but require investment. #RuralWA areas pay more already, need different solutions. #WAEnergy2021

The pandemic is hitting industries in profoundly different ways. This assistance is focused on hardest-hit sectors like restaurants & fitness centers. Equity a top priority for funds. Dollars will go to #ruralWA & those facing historic disadvantage. Live: tvw.org/watch/?clientID=9375…
